Growing Together: Why We're Introducing Daily Ava Credits
At Upit, our mission has always been to empower creators to bring their game ideas to life quickly, playfully, and with the best tools available. Ava, our AI game assistant, has been a huge part of that journey, helping thousands of creators dream up new games, remix old ones, and experiment faster than ever before. Until now, Ava has been entirely free to use. But as our community and usage have grown (and we love that it has!), so have our infrastructure costs. To keep Ava accessible for everyone while ensuring we can sustainably scale and keep building new features, we’re introducing a daily AI credit system. 💡 What’s Changing? Starting today, users will have a set number of AI credits each day. Any action that requires AI is charged with 1 credit. These credits refill every 24 hours. You’ll see a message when your daily limit is reached. Note that you can still manually edit the code, or upload your assets, without deduction of credits! Need more credits now? Reach out to us on Discord. We're here to help! 🧠 Why We’re Doing This We believe in being transparent with our community. This isn’t about taking something away. It’s about building something that can last and grow. By setting usage limits, we can: - Keep Ava available for everyone. - Ensure fair usage as demand increases. - Build toward a paid credits system for those who need more, without compromising free access for creators. 🚀 What’s Next? We’re working on paid plans in the future, so you’ll be able to get more AI time when you need it. And as always, we’ll keep adding features, listening to feedback, and doing everything we can to make Upit the best platform for game creation. We know this is a shift, and we genuinely appreciate your understanding as we grow. We're excited for what’s ahead, and grateful to be creating the future of game development together with this community. Thank you for growing with us, believing in Ava, and shaping the future of game creation. The Upit Team

Abi hic adalet degil para kazanmak icin mesela benim 100 hakka ihtiyacım olur diyerinin 10 taneye.1 haftadan fazla başvuru kabul bekliyorum.
Limitations are a bridge to creativity. Don't overdo it, it's not good. I support daily credits. Life isn't just about making games. I was once invited to try an app similar to Upit. They also offered daily credits. I accepted.
Deeply disappointed! 😡 I would understand if we could use your platform to develop AAA games 🤓 or at the very least work with a proper 3D engine instead of being stuck with these tiny-screen gimmicks that you don't even allow to be shown in full on mobile, because you've reduced that too! No matter how big the screen is, the top part is still cut off. I would also understand if the platform's very existence were at risk and this was the only way to keep it running but that’s clearly not the case here! What’s not clear at all from your message is what kind of extra functionality you give to us for this. What is perfectly clear, however, is that existing features are being restricted from people, putting them at a disadvantage compared to others. Maybe, most people haven’t caught on yet because it’s summer and they don’t care at now. 😎 Good timing... 😈 But from this point on, this is anything but not a “free to use for everyone” slogan! 🤑
Hey, have you thought about what you're really supporting? Maybe you have more info from this? Or are you just going along with in because it's sound good at first and you haven't quite seen the whole picture yet? They're just putting limits on what you've already achieved easy and no one really talking about more real developments. 🤔
And you've ruined this page! 😡 10 credits for a day? 🤬 Joke! It's not enough for anything! It should be at least 100 a day, as long as Ava doesn't respond to! You're going to lock a lot of people out and they won't have a chance to enter a contest, just for few members! That's just mean! There is money for prizes and no money for basic operation?! Should people pay to try it out?! This is not fair from you! I hope many people realize this soon, it backfires on you and you will withdraw this!
And what guarantee do we get that if we pay, anything will be better? I don't see any such encouraging signs at the moment. You have been busy with the appearance of the site for a long time now and not with eliminating its initial weaknesses. But you introduced it without any question. So the answer is: NO! And forget about this whole idea.
Go fast on a nice vacation! ;) We hope you will forget about this invention of yours and not think about such crazy things as rechargeable and paid credit! WE DO NOT ASK FOR IT!
WE STRONGLY REJECT YOUR AGENDA TOO! You had the money to give $2500 to just one person, while rewarding no one else. And since then, every month it's been the same people winning the $5000 prize competitions, again and again? And now suddenly, running the site has become “too expensive,” so instead you're punishing and locking others out of creating because of credit limits? Honestly, I think you've been planning this ever since you switched from FRVR to Upit. And now everyone else is just expected to pay when their daily credits run out. Spare us the nonsense about “site maintenance costs” — the money is clearly there, you're just trying to pull it in from more sources, right? What is this marketing nonsense about “getting more time with AI when you need it”? Is that how you're trying to sugarcoat the fact that the site is becoming pay-to-use? No thanks — we were doing just fine without credits! SO I ASK — FOR WHAT EXACTLY?! For a site that’s been patched weekly since November 2024 and still doesn’t run smoothly? You could at least announce when maintenance is happening so we know not to even try logging in because nothing will work anyway. Just look at the November migration — not a single word about what you were doing, and we were greeted with a broken site. DID YOU ASK ANYONE ABOUT THIS CHANGE? NO. WAS THERE ANY KIND OF VOTE OR POLL ABOUT OPTIONS? NO. Instead, we see the same behavior here as we do everywhere else in the world today. :( If you're trying to turn this into a fully paid platform, then it’s fair to expect AVA to work like magic — not require 20 retries just to get something functional. We creators can’t even make a game the way we want — we’re just expected to be happy with whatever AVA happens to support at the moment, as long as it doesn’t crash? Everything the AVA engine is capable of now, it could already do before Upit! Everything else added since is just extra fluff! And now even the site itself doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be — you can’t find anything anymore. Even during gameplay the like button and the creator’s name are hidden, so new visitors can’t even figure out what’s what or where to find things
Congratulations to those contestants who had a lot of minus likes for their games until yesterday, and now after credits update they have the same number of upvotes! :D Interesting 😆 🤔
You guys are drunk, and is this supposed to be a bad joke?! You can’t be serious! 🤣 April Fool’s Day was a long time ago! I’d really like to know what went through your heads during that drunken brainstorming session. What exactly can you do with 10 credits, when a single instruction uses up all 10 – even if it fails to execute for whatever reason?! No matter how you rephrase things for AVA, you can be sure it’ll either throw an error or misinterpret it completely and do something entirely different – and even then, there’s no guarantee the prompt will work at all! At the very least, it should work properly, quickly, stably, and reliably! Instead, one day goes by per instruction, and then another day just to fix what it messed up. Because you can be sure it’ll manage to complete one task… but mess up two or three that were already working fine! OH RIGHT – YOU CAN CODE IN JAVASCRIPT IN THE EDITOR! :O THEN WHY EVEN HAVE THE AVA WIZARD ON THIS SITE?! :D So now I’m supposed to program instead of an AI wizard – just to save credits?! And how many months should I spend making just one game like this?? There’s no way you can make a game for a competition under these conditions. At this point, I might as well learn to code on another platform and not make someone else rich! This has nothing to do with sustainability anymore – it’s about draining every user dry while they don’t even make money from it, and magically, the same few people win every month… by coincidence, of course.

look i understand what your trying to say but your community is actually going to fall apart in this way
so instead of adding ads and share with creators. you wanna take money from devs. they earn nothing from games right now. You take data and samples from people right now. System not gonna evolve anymore. so its a bye for me. Thank you guys for let me try this ai. Its might gonna be new game engine one day but not today.
DAILY CREDIT SYSTEM??? :O :@ ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!?! :@ THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS AND COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! :@ YOU'D BETTER SCRAP THIS IDEA IMMEDIATELY, AND I MEAN RIGHT NOW!!! :@ OTHERWISE, WITHIN DAYS, PEOPLE WILL START CURSING OUT YOUR ENTIRE TEAM ALONG WITH YOUR PATCHED-UP PLATFORM! Has ANY of your decision-makers tried to create a game using AVA lately??? Because if they had, they’d KNOW what a disaster it currently is – constantly breaking even on the simplest tasks – AND then you go and make it worse by limiting us to 10 credits a day??? What is that supposed to be good for??? NOTHING!!! Not even enough for a new user to test all the editor’s features!!! I hope you’ve all thought this through – not just you, but every reader, tester, and contestant – because it’s crystal clear that this makes any meaningful work IMPOSSIBLE. There’s NO WAY anyone can finish a game in under two weeks for any of your contests with this credit system! Or is that the real hidden agenda – make past winners spend their prize money to keep going, and shut out everyone else?????????????????????? Because that’s exactly what this will lead to – instead of making the platform accessible to everyone, you’re killing the fun, and people will give up on this project in one single day, writing it off as just another money-hungry site. And then what? Beg for credits on Discord? Some get them, others don’t? Why would anyone pay for this, if they see that the same people keep winning over and over again, month after month, often with the exact same game just renamed? I’ll get back to that. Let’s get something straight: Every single AVA command has to be re-typed and corrected at least 10 times to work properly!!! And YES, before you ask, I’m saying this after testing with every single version of the tool, I KNOW when to use what command and for what purpose, and I’m telling you right now — I’m absolutely exhausted. What’s called “fast” by the system is really just “fast at doing nothing”, or maybe fails nine times, and on the tenth try it half-succeeds – but misunderstood. And boom, there goes a daily command/credit… But it still deducts the credit regardless. And of course, users aren’t supposed to write to you about this, right? :@ What’s next in your brilliant plan? – 1 credit for logging in? – 1 credit per comment? – 1 credit per like? Need more ideas? I have more! Here’s one: add a “Report Troll Comment” button if you’re going down this road instead of improving what FRVR used to be! Make every report cost a credit – whatever – but DO SOMETHING, because I’m telling you this out of goodwill: you’re heading in the wrong direction, and no one’s had the courage to tell you until now. I’ve just had enough of watching this whole thing fall apart. FIX the Discover / Trending section layout already, because the tiles constantly break and nothing is readable – doesn’t matter what device you’re using!!! ...And today I literally had two identical, super simple elements I needed AVA to line up... Same structure, nothing linked, no chance of collision... She moves one, then crashes on the other with an error. And that’s just a tiny example. In other modes – with a solid internet connection, a good processor, and SSD – loading still freezes at one-fourth of the bar and just sits there, forever, even if you leave it overnight. Then it either throws a random error, or disconnects from the server — and this has been going on since you became upit.com! Oh, and please get that iOS ad out of the editor — it crashes the editor every time. Not on loading, but right when AVA is supposed to execute a command, so she fails, and doesn’t even try to run it! Why is there even a code upload feature in the editor if it can’t properly interpret what’s uploaded, and even if it accepts something, a quarter of the functionality is blocked internally anyway?
Is running the site too expensive now? Maybe you shouldn’t have awarded $2500 to one single winner in the #PuzzleContest, and then everyone else “sorry, nothing for you.” Or how about giving the same few people $1750 and $1250 month after month, with no transparent justification about what “professional decision” led to picking them as the “Judge’s Favorite”? I seem to remember we had to indicate our programming level when registering — then how about dividing contest results based on skill levels, because the differences are painfully obvious. You could’ve just split that $2500 into $300 prizes like "BEST10" and Best3votes and Most3Played Categories and also in programming depth experience. (and make it actually $300, not $250, Less money should not be put on even less) and way more people would feel proud, talk about the site positively, and help it grow. But right now? With AVA? It all just feels like a massive waste of time. And then, with such an Ai "wizard", we should start programming in its code part, because it doesn't deduct credits, so thank you, let's be grateful...
Why would it be just 10, not to mention I'm still waiting for my application to be approved.

First you wait to get accepted, then you wait for Ava finally generate something, and then wait again for your daily 10 credits / 10 prompts to refill. Say no to Ava daily credit Agenda!
Well, I can’t say that I’m surprised….it sure would be nice to get the Nexus models back though.
We have 10 points each day?!! who can work on game with 10 points come on do 100/100 per day, at least to edit and fix a game need a lot of prompts but at least 100/100.
